Kyle Fletcher makes surprising pick for AEW All In 2026 main event

An interested observer of the main event will be Kyle Fletcher, who defends his International Title against fellow Don Callis Family Member Kazuchika Okada and former tag team partner Konosuke Takeshita. 

Fletcher has faced Omega in single and multi-person matches during his time in All Elite Wrestling. But things with Ospreay are more personal. They used to be friends as part of the United Empire. Now, Fletcher and Ospreay are bitter enemies, culminating with memorable matches at AEW Full Gear 2024 and a steel cage battle at AEW Revolution 2025.

Omega-Ospreay is a pick'em type matchup. Initially, Fletcher was torn on who would leave England with the richest prize in AEW.

"It's so tough," Fletcher told DAZN News. "Kenny Omega is by far one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. He's still someone that I watch and admire, am in awe of, and I think he has really come back into form this year. Obviously, he's had a lot of health issues, which has been hard to watch him go through knowing what he's capable of. He's really returned back to form this year.

"Obviously, winning the world title is just an example of that. But in the same sense, I would say Will Ospreay's been on a very similar journey. He went through a neck surgery. I believe the neck surgery was late last year, but a lot of the recovery was into this year. And that is a huge life-altering thing. I'm sure his body does not feel the same. Doesn't work the same since then, but he has fought through that, and that takes a lot of resilience.

"He looks like he's better than ever. So you have these two greats going head-to-head, and they're at the top of their game. It's very hard for me."

After a little reflection while he was talking about the bout, Fletcher made a reluctant pick in picking his bitter rival to leave his country with the belt. 

"You have these two greats going head-to-head, and they're at the top of their game. It's very hard for me," Fletcher exclaimed. "I think purely because of I think that home field advantage, it really makes a difference. It really does. You go in just with the entire crowd, and it feels like the entire country behind you. And that makes you superhuman. It really does. 

"I remember I wrestled Mark Briscoe in a ladder match in Australia earlier this year, and that was literally my hometown, my home arena. And being in that building, I felt like I could run through a brick wall. That energy that the crowd gives you. It's like an adrenaline shot that you can't even imagine. It's like the best drug in the world. And Will Ospreay is going to have that times 50,000. So I think just purely due to that, as much as it pains me, I see Will Ospreay walking out as world champ."
